and the media aren't paying enough attention to Gonzalesgate, meaning the recent firing of eight U.S. attorneys for obviously not being partisan enough for the administration's tastes.

The attempt to turn the Justice Department into nothing but an agency of hacks is certainly a huge scandal.

The White House confirmed Monday night that in early 2005, Miers, then the White House counsel, raised the idea that all 93 U.S. attorneys be replaced at the start of the second Bush term.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the conversation was revealed as the Justice Department was preparing Sampson to testify before Congress about the replacement of the U.S. attorneys last year. The Washington Post reported that Sampson resigned because he had failed to tell other Justice Department officials about the extent of his contacts with the White House.


Gonzales says he accepts responsibility, but he doesn't accept the blame, and he ain't one damned bit sorry he did it.

Since he serves "at the pleasure" of Bush, which can be interpreted in a myriad of different ways, he has no intention of resigning.

Impeachment, anyone?
